MEMORIAL COMPLEX

ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN

This exemplary architectural proposal consists of a glazed volume measuring 330 metres high, which highlights and prioritises the main entrance to the built complex. On the site, two museums give substance to the figure, both physically and spiritually. One houses the permanent exhibition on the founding of the Kazakh nationality. While the other portrays the long road towards the Nation’s future. Each of the elements proposed explores a layer of memory, understood as a social construct, conveying the principle that tomorrow is based on a more or less distant, yet foundational past. The surrounding area is designed to represent a natural extension of the symbolisms depicted.
